For a festival that balances music with breathtaking closeness to nature, the choice can only be LIVE at Squamish. This year, the three-day, two-stage festival, held annually in British Columbia’s beautiful Squamish Valley, will run from August 24-26. The line-up is chock full of talent from Canada and abroad: The Tragically Hip, City and Colour, The Sheepdogs, Chromeo, Mother Mother, The Airbourne Toxic Event, Kathleen Edwards, and more.

LIVE at Squamish has put together an official LIVE at Squamish 2012 playlist, perfect for blasting on your way to the show or from your backyard — as long as you’re in the great outdoors!
